Can a natural compound help preserve jawbone after tooth loss?
NCT ID NCT07765745
First seen Aug 14, 2026 · Last updated Aug 14, 2026
Summary
This trial tests whether a gel made from thymoquinone, a compound found in black seed oil, can help preserve bone density and width in the jaw after a tooth is removed. Adults aged 18 to 50 who need an upper back tooth extracted may participate. Participants will receive either a standard gel foam, a thymoquinone gel, or a nano-formulated thymoquinone gel placed in the socket, and bone changes will be tracked with 3D imaging.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- 0.2% thymoquinone gel (including a nano-formulated version), applied to the tooth socket after extraction
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a simple, natural way to preserve jawbone shape and density after tooth removal, potentially improving healing and future dental implant success.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial, so results may not be conclusive or widely applicable. The gel is experimental and its effectiveness and safety are not yet established.
